I walked in by myself one afternoon and was immediately welcomed by a bar full of regulars and a warm and friendly bartender. I got a "hey come on in", "welcome", "I like your sweater", "this seat is open!" Right off the bat. A few local patrons "adopted" me as one of their own, even though I was just in town visiting. Drinks are cheap. And there is an outdoor area for smoking, with heat lamps in the winter. It is predominantly a Steelers bar (football), and it's where a lot of active and retired Marines go to let loose. Pool tables, darts, and video trivia are available too! I'd come back in a heartbeat! Good vibes.

Another truly outstanding experience at Duck's Bar and Grill…read more From one business owner to another, I have a deep appreciation for what you're doing here. Everything--from the atmosphere to the execution--is top tier. But what really sets you apart is your attention to detail and genuine care for your customers. Our waitress tonight, Kaila, was absolutely phenomenal. She picked up on something most people would overlook--I don't use straws--and brought my drink without one, without me even having to ask. That may seem small to some, but to me, that level of awareness and intentional service speaks volumes. It's those little things that create unforgettable experiences and separate good businesses from truly great ones. Kaila absolutely crushed it tonight, and it's clear your team is operating at a very high level. Keep doing what you're doing--you've built something special.

I read a lot of negative reviews about Hooligans and was very reserved in going to the venue…read moreHOWEVER, we went to the Hinder show last night Oct 26,2021 and the place was fantastic! Of course its not a massive amphitheater or huge concert hall its a small one that is perfect for who and what they deliver as far as expectations for said establishment. 1) Entry and security Long line for a show - that is normal and the line was average for the size of the place, no issue with that at all for it moved quickly. Security was professional and conducted themselves as such! They were thorough and that is there job! Good on them! 2) Appearance and accessibility Was definitely not a Ritz-Carlton but guess what!?! It was what you should expect for a small business in Jacksonville NC! I loved how you had an area out front in order to escape the noise and have a conversation. The bathrooms were the appropriate size and I had no issues with them at all. I saw a man in a wheel chair inside and the place is more than in compliance for access for folks who may need it. 3) Service and Internal Security Service was amazing! We had the pleasure of being served by two female bartenders in the music hall and they were fast, accurate, and very polite considering the volume! We sat in the VIP section and had a bartender come by and check on us every few minutes! It was fantastic! Prices are not bad at all for a club! Of course you get plastic cups because lets be real folks - glass would be everywhere if they tried to serve in said containers. Security was great! One guy looked like he hated life but the others were professional and courteous. Overall I would recommend this place for a good show and a good time! Its Rock and Roll people! Deal with it! Rock on Hooligans!!!

Went here for the first time to see one of my favorite bands: The Plot in You…read more If I could give this venue zero stars I would. When we arrived at 8pm (an hr after the show started) there was already a line snaking around the building, and an employee of the venue told us there were already hundreds of people inside (venue definitely broke their fire code, we looked it up). The line moved extremely slow - the employees weren't scanning tix but instead reading off of a paper list, also the venue was already so packed there was literally no room for any new patrons to stand. We were actually in line so long we missed the first two bands playing that night, and half of the set of the third band - and we were offered no refunds on our tickets. I saw a few people leaving angrily in the parking lot for the same reason.. My rum and coke I ordered at the bar was over $20 (and it was house rum)... We eventually pushed our way to get through the doorway of the space where the bands were playing just enough to be out of the way of people coming and going from the room. We felt so claustrophobic and the space felt very unsafe due to the place being way over capacity. It was very very hot inside which was expected but not to the extent of over 100 degrees, but I wasnt prepared for the people around me's sweat to fall/drip on me - again, packed like sardines: otherwise that wouldn't have been happening. Oh, and forget about being able to go back out to the bar to get another over priced drink. There was no staff to help patrons in and out of the space. I will say the bartender that gave me my $20 rum and coke was pleasant. This will be the first and last time we go to this venue. Shame on management for over selling and overall putting a lot of people in an unsafe space
